Reflections: My Favorite Guests
By Art Ray
If you listen to A.R.E.'s online radio program Reflections: The Wisdom of Edgar Cayce, you know that the show has covered some fascinating topics, such as near-death experiences, mediumship, psychic abilities, dowsing, and the history of the Association for Research and Enlightenment (A.R.E.). As the show's host, I've had the opportunity to interview many informed and entertaining guests such as Josie Varga, Dean Radin, Edwin May, James Mullaney, Sidney Kirkpatrick, Micki Kluge, and June Bro. In addition, we've gone to the archives to hear presentations from the vault including the sons of Edgar Cayce— Hugh Lynn Cayce and Edgar Evans Cayce. Some of my favorite guests, though, present information on the paranormal from a scientific viewpoint.
It's amazing how little time a 40-minute interview provides when I'm interviewing a guest. There is so much information we try to condense into one show. It's especially difficult to cover all the research of Josie Varga, who has compiled numerous accounts of near-death experiences and after-death communication and presents a positive message when it comes to life's difficulties. She has been on the show several times, but I continue to have more questions I would like for her to answer. What I feel is most compelling about Josie's research is how she analyzes the data and looks for commonalities in the near-death events. You can listen to podcasts of our past show guests, such as Josie. Her first interview contains an interesting account of her personal experience with after-death communication regarding an individual who died on 9/11/2001.
Another guest who has compiled an impressive volume of compelling data is Julie Beischel, PhD, who is the Director of Research at the Windbridge Institute . Using her education in various scientific disciplines, she approaches mediumship through rigorous triple-blind studies and spends a considerable amount of time planning studies and collecting data. This is the type of work that needs to be done more in the field of parapsychology. In her interview, she urges listeners who wish to study parapsychological phenomena to first study a mainstream scientific field, and then apply those empirical principles to parapsychology.
Another researcher of parapsychology with a scientific background is Edwin May, Ph.D., a former nuclear physicist who is currently the Executive Director of the Cognitive Sciences Laboratory. What I find interesting about Dr. May is that he has approached his studies from a skeptical viewpoint and seeks to remove as much coincidence and potential error from his experiments as possible. I was so interested in his projects that I interviewed him longer than usual and made an extended version of the show for the podcast page. In the latter half of the interview, you can hear him explain an interesting experiment regarding precognition, which focuses on the physiological response to bursts of white noise and reveals the possibility that we can anticipate events at least a few seconds prior to their occurring.
One researcher you may want to hear is Dean Radin, PhD, Senior Scientist at the Institute for Noetic Sciences. He has collected a huge amount of data on psychic phenomena with fascinating results. He also has developed a data analysis method which takes commonalities from prior studies, done by different researchers, on the same subject in order to compile the data and get a bigger statistical pool of information to reduce the percentage error and illuminate the results even further.
If you are interested in astronomy and strange phenomena involving celestial bodies, you should listen to the episode featuring James Mullaney, FRAS. He is an astronomer and speaker who is a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society. You may have seen one of his amazing presentations at an A.R.E. conference in Virginia Beach. His programs feature beautiful and sometimes unexplained images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. I thought his debunking of the "galactic alignment" of 2012 was interesting, along with the information on the Venus transit, a genuine and rare phenomenon.
Of course, there is also Carlos Alvarado, PhD, who is the Scholar in Residence at Atlantic University here in Virginia Beach. He studies out-of-body experiences and has written about the history of parapsychological research. For those of you who are students at Atlantic University, you should really check out his work. I know he sometimes needs volunteers.
These are just some of the guests who have come on the show and presented their research from a scientific viewpoint. You can browse through past shows by going towww.edgarcayce.org/radio and clicking on "podcasts," which are actually just mp3 files. You don't need a special player to listen to them.
I could write at length about our other guests, such as those who delve into the history of the A.R.E. and Edgar Cayce, but that will have to wait until later. Until then, make sure to listen to the show Sunday mornings from 9 a.m. until 11 a.m. EST, and download past show podcasts at edgarcayce.org/radio.
Show Host: Art Ray In addition to hosting the show Reflections: The Wisdom of Edgar Cayce, Art has recorded several A.R.E. Press audio books including Edgar Cayce on Vibrations: Spirit in Motion audio book and 2012: Mayan Year of Destiny audio book, as well as special promotions for A.R.E. including downloadable files in the member-only section of EdgarCayce.org.

Local Jesuit leaders react to Election of Pope Francis
Pope Francis is the first Jesuit to lead the Catholic Church.
Pastors at the Immaculate Conception Church in downtown Albuquerque said it came as a big surprise when Jorge Cardinal Bergoglio was elected pope.
"All the Jesuits are excited about it," Associate Pastor Richard McGowan said,. "A Jesuit is hardly ever appointed Bishop -- let alone pope."
Pope Francis I is the first ever Jesuit to lead the Catholic Church. Why's his election so surprising?
"Jesuits deliberately don't aspire to positions of authority," said Associate Pastor Anthony Borrow.
Instead, McGowan told Action 7 News that members of the Society of Jesus focus on concern for the poor, and for justice.
"He seems to be a man of humble tastes, who wants to work with the poor. So I'm sure that will be reflected in his policy and his teaching."
A deacon at the Immaculate Conception Church believes Pope Francis I chose his name to honor Saint Francis of Assisi, but also to honor Saint Francis Xavier, who helped start the Jesuit order, an order that has deep roots in New Mexico.
"There's a long Jesuit history here in New Mexico of the church getting started here," McGowan said.
In 1868 it was Spanish-speaking Jesuits from Italy who moved to Albuquerque and helped spread their mission of education and charity.

I know it's not the question you asked, but I'm curious why you racked to secondary and then added more fermentables? Wouldn't it be easier to add the concentrate, add the yeast, ferment completely, and then rack to secondary? I assume it did re-start fermentation after adding the concentrate? Based on the FG it must have.and yes, I always size my batches so that my secondary will be completely full, unless I'm going to be in a keg where I can cover with CO2. I've added a small amount of water before. Assuming you had fermentation from the concentrate you had a CO2 blanket and though you opened it for the oak I assume that process made some more come out of solution that has again covered the cider. So I wouldn't personally worry too much.cheers----Michael
I fail to see why so many people add concentrate to their cider. Upping the apple flavor transforms cider to alcol pop. Read the introduction to ciders in the guidelines, cider should taste no more like apples than wine taste like grapes. This is why Boones Farm Apple Wine is a classic representation. If you like the big apple flavor, make it that way, just don't call it cider. I admit I'm a purist BUT I'm seeing comments on my scoresheets about not having enough "apple flavor".OK, off my soapbox.
Yes, it would have made more sense to add the concentrate at the start.I didn't have a real plan for this, I pretty much just added it on a whim. Thinking it would reduce the head space and might flavor it up a bit. I took a look at it a couple days ago and found the airlock was empty, not sure if it sucked back into the carboy, or I just didn't fill it. I gave the carboy a blast of CO2. Should I put this in a keg to age / carb. now, or just leave it the carboy for another month ?

Huang Bob wrote:A while back I made 5 created characters and slapped them in Chai Sang for, I believe, the Little Conqueror scenario. The 5 were prominent Galactic Empire characters from Star Wars...Emperor Palpatine, Darth Vader, Grand Moff Tarkin, and EU fan favorites Grand Admiral Thrawn, and Gilad Pelleaon. I played rather conservative, what with 5 original officers, which ultimately led to Cao Cao taking over all but Chai Sang, Mo Ling, Wu, Hui Ji, and Shan Yue. Kinda turned in to these guys being the rebellion fighting another Empire. I had a good pool of officers. Ended up with a bunch of Wu guys. Enough to expand slightly, but not enough to defend whatever I took over. So I decided, screw it, I'm going to start executing everyone I capture. Fast forward to an Imperial victory, and despite all those executions, I end up with the best possible ending.
I can't count how many times I've tried to get the best ending, and here it happened completely by accident.

Feedback for Annual Achievement Awards
December 22nd, 2015:
As we go into the new year, where annual achievements would reset, we wanted to let you know that annual achievements have been deactivated.
We're grateful for all your feedback over the course of the year, positive and negative, and we will continue to explore and develop other ways to celebrate and incentivize Strava athletes. Thank you for understanding and have a great holiday season.
Starting in 2015, annual achievements recognize your accomplishments on running and cycling segments during the current year.
Full explanation found here: https://strava.zendesk.com/entries/21299622-Achievement-Awards-Glossary
We'd love to hear your feedback on this new feature, so please leave your comments below!
January 30th, 2015 update:
- As of today, we've disabled annual PR achievements on your activities. Those activities uploaded in the past will see 2015 annual PRs removed in a few weeks once the caches have cleared.
- A few weeks ago, trophies for 6th-10th place for the 2015 overall leaderboard were disabled.
We fixed how we prioritize significant achievements as highlighted in the Activity Feed, Top Results (Activity page), and Recent Achievements (Profile Page). What was happening initially after the release is that annual achievements were appearing among the 2-3 highlighted achievements in the Activity Feed and in the Top Results section of the Activity page when there were more significant overall results later on in the activity. This was simply due to faulty logic, and we changed the logic to surface the most "significant" achievements instead by prioritizing all-time achievements.
- The Annual Achievements that remain are KOM/QOM/CR and trophies for 2nd-5th place.
We are not going to develop an opt-out feature for annual achievements. Despite the overwhelming support for such a setting, we have chosen to take other steps to address your feedback instead, allowing us to work to make this feature better. By turning off a significant number of the annual achievements we hope that the clutter will be improved, and that it will be easier to view the achievements that are most important. As you can read below, we still have a number of projects coming later this year that will also improve the situation regarding too many achievements and visibility into annual leaderboards. Please continue to share your feedback with us here.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Illinois Sen. Mark Kirk has briefly returned to his Senate office for the first time since suffering a stroke last January.
His office says the Illinois Republican spent about a half-hour meeting with aides on Thursday in advance of his anticipated return to work when the new Congress convenes on Jan. 3.
The 53-year-old lawmaker's stroke limited movement on the left side of his body and affected his speech. He underwent emergency surgery and has since had treatment including vigorous experimental therapy with longer workouts than usual for stroke victims.
Last month, Kirk made his first public appearance since the stroke, climbing 37 floors inside Chicago's Willis Tower as part of a charity event.

Boston is among the most cultured cities in the country. If you consider the Boston Symphony, the Boston Ballet, the Museum of Fine Arts and the Institute of Contemporary Art, summer concerts on the banks of the Charles River, not to mention numerous regional theaters, Boston might truly be celebrated for its world class cultural institutions.
The rich history of Boston is reflected in many of its residential neighborhoods. With streets that were once cow paths, the area's 19th Century residences are surrounded by gas lanterns and brick sidewalks. Such historical features lend a great deal of charm to the city neighborhoods of Back Bay, Beacon Hill, Charlestown and the South End.
Home to some of Boston's most valuable real estate, these residential enclaves afford residents a mix of grand brownstone buildings, brick and clapboard row houses, full service condominiums in luxury high-rise buildings and even new loft-style apartments. There's something for everyone right in the heart of the city.
The Seaport District is an up-and-coming residential area, abundant with modern buildings that enjoy city and water views. A vibrant neighborhood adding new restaurants nearly every day, the Seaport offers close proximity to the Financial District and the Waterfront via the Harborwalk.
Back Bay and Beacon Hill are home to one of our favorite places to take in the beauty and serenity of the city. The Boston Common and The Public Garden provide an oasis of green space for residents and tourists alike, and the swan boats in summer are one of Boston's top motifs for tourists and local shutterbugs.
Back Bay's Newbury Street and Boylston Street offer a full shopping experience with a combination of boutiques, well-recognized stores such as Chanel and Ralph Lauren, and plenty of dining options with outdoor seating in the warm weather. If you prefer to shop indoors Copley Place and the Prudential Mall offer all of the comforts of upscale mall shopping just steps away.
The South End offers substantial 19th century brownstone buildings, new loft-style apartments and boutiques and restaurants all around.
Charlestown is just a few minutes from downtown Boston and is comprised of narrow and hilly streets that lead to the Bunker Hill Monument as well as a quaint Main Street.
The Waterfront offers great options for living with properties overlooking the water having easy access to the restaurants of The North End and within walking distance to the Financial District.
If you're a culinary enthusiast, Boston is known as one of the food capitals of the country. From the tony L'Espalier in the Back Bay to the Legal Harborside in the Seaport District, there are abundant options to suit any palate and budget.
LandVest provides valuation, estate planning and marketing of luxury homes and condominiums in the finest neighborhoods of Boston. From a luxury condominium with views of the Charles River to a classic Beacon Hill townhouse, LandVest offers Sellers and Buyers years of insight into the dynamic Boston market.

I am also going to vent this out of my system for better or worse right now, I am not a fan of Gainax (I hate EVA. They're giant meat bags! With armor! Not mecha! No, I don't care what Super Robot Taisen says about this! I gave away my EVA collection to a friend because I didn't want it sharing shelf space with Gundam and Zone of the Enders of all things! And I don't even want to touch Escaflowne with a Longinus Lance capable of pinning a red mecha to the ground!).Commander Evil wrote:Don't forget the cute yet emotionally distant albino girl who eventually turns us all into Tang.
All this being said, you're more or less spot on.
On another note, to Darkwolf, I'm rather certain you have neither the resources or perhaps even desire to watch much anime, but for the type of pilot you describe I can't think of a better anime than Full Metal Panic! (and FMP? FUMOFFU & FMP! TSR). Well, perhaps I can, but Sousuke Sagara is the best.
Final note to anyone who doesn't watch anime: It's a dirty habit and your feelings are justified, please look with pity and not disdain on those of us discussing the frivolities of cartoons. I am deeply sorry to have wasted your very limited time upon this earth reading both the above and this disclaimer.

At The Plate – After four innings the Cubs didn't have much going, then they erupted for ten runs over the final four innings en route to a 10-2 victory. Logan Watkins had an outstanding game at the top of the order going 3-for-5 with three singles and two runs scored. Brian Bogusevic continues to pad his stats as he was 2-for-4 with his sixth home run of the season, a walk, three RBI's, and two runs scored. Steve Clevenger is on the comeback trail, he was 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored, he's hitting .429 since returning from that horrible oblique injury. Brad Nelson had a productive day going 2-for-4 with his eighth home run of the season, three RBI's, and a run scored. Ian Stewart is still alive, and was decent in this one going 1-for-4 with his first home run of the season, an RBI, and a run scored.
On The Mound – Brooks Raley got the start, and I'm not 100% certain but I think Raley had to leave early in this one as he only threw fifty-one pitches. Raley worked 3.1 innings giving up one run on three hits while walking one and striking out two. Casey Coleman continues to do tremendous work out of the pen; he worked 3.2 scoreless innings giving up one hit while striking out two to earn his first win of the season. Marcus Hatley scuffled a bit, and has since his promotion to Iowa; he worked one inning giving up one run on two hits. Alex Burnett, who cleared waivers and was optioned to Iowa got some work in today, he went one scoreless inning giving up one hit.
At the Plate – Not a lot of offense in this one from the D-Cubs but it was enough as they squeaked out a 1-0 victory over Bradenton. John Andreoli was 2-for-4 with two singles, and his sixteenth stolen base of the season. Tim Saunders was 2-for-4; he also had two singles, but had a caught stealing in this one. The only RBI of the game came from Jorge Soler; he finished the day 0-for-2 with said RBI on a sacrifice fly.
On The Mound – Ben Wells was outstanding to start things off for Daytona; he improved his record to 4-4 on the season with the win. Wells worked five scoreless innings giving up two hits while walking three and striking out four. Frank Del Valle was just as good out of the pen and earned the rare four inning save in a one run game. Del Valle worked four scoreless innings giving up four hits while striking out four.
At The Plate – The Smokies looked like they had control of this one with an early 4-1 lead but had to battle back from a 6-4 deficit which they did; as they scored four runs unanswered to beat Jackson 8-6. The Smokies were dangerous all night as they pounded out fifteen hits while scoring eight runs; they were 5-for-16 with runners in scoring position. Matt Szczur is red hot, he was 3-for-5 with two doubles, three RBI's, a stolen base, and two runs scored, he's now hitting .292 on the season. Ronald Torreyes was 2-for-5 with his second home run of the season, two RBI's, and a run scored. Arismendy Alcantara was 3-for-5 with two doubles, and an RBI, he's now hitting .290 on the season. Ty Wright also had a solid game going 2-for-5 with his third home run of the season, an RBI, and two runs scored. Chad Noble had a monster game going 4-for-5 with a double, an RBI, and a run scored in the win.
On The Mound – Yeiper Castillo was roughed up in this one but was still able to give the Smokies some valuable innings. Castillo worked six innings giving up six runs on six hits while walking three and striking out four. Hunter Cervenka was outstanding out of the pen, he worked 1.2 scoreless innings giving up one hit while striking out two, he picked up his first AA win of the season. Frank Batista was solid as usual in picking up his eighth save of the season. Batista worked 1.1 scoreless innings giving up one hit; he lowered his ERA to 1.78 on the season.

Academy for Women
Essay upon Projects
Defoe's "Academy for Women" appears in the chapter of his Essay on Projects entitled "Of Academies". This section begins with a general recommendation of academies modelled on "the academy of Paris" as societies which are able to promote learning and the arts of civil society. The chapter thereafter comprises a section recommending the establishment of a "Royal Military Academy", and the "Academy for Women". Defoe's belief that women are as capable as men, or indeed more capable but held back by the way in which society treats them, is very much ahead of its time. (Robert Clark)
I have often thought of it as one of the most barbarous customs in the world, considering us as a civilised and a Christian country, that we deny the advantages of learning to women. We reproach the sex every day with folly and impertinence, while I am confident, had they the advantages of education equal to us, they would be guilty of less than ourselves.
One would wonder indeed how it should happen that women are conversable at all, since they are only beholding to natural parts for all their knowledge. Their youth is spent to teach them to stitch and sew, or make baubles. They are taught to read indeed, and perhaps to write their names, or so, and that is the height of a woman's education. And I would but ask any who slight the sex for their understanding, What is a man (a gentleman, I mean) good for that is taught no more?
I need not give instances, or examine the character of a gentleman with a good estate, and of a good family, and with tolerable parts, and examine what figure he makes for want of education.
The soul is placed in the body like a rough diamond, and must be polished, or the lustre of it will never appear. And it is manifest that as the rational soul distinguishes us from brutes, so education carries on the distinction, and makes some less brutish than others. This is too evident to need any demonstration. But why, then, should women be denied the benefit of instruction? If knowledge and understanding had been useless additions to the sex, God Almighty would never have given them capacities, for He made nothing needless: besides, I would ask such what they can see in ignorance that they should think it a necessary ornament to a woman. Or, How much worse is a wise woman than a fool? or, What has the woman done to forfeit the privilege of being taught? Does she plague us with her pride and impertinence? Why did we not let her learn, that she might have had more wit? Shall we upbraid women with folly, when it is only the error of this inhuman custom that hindered them being made wiser?
The capacities of women are supposed to be greater and their senses quicker than those of the men; and what they might be capable of being bred to is plain from some instances of female wit which this age is not without, which upbraids us with injustice, and looks as if we denied women the advantages of education for fear they should vie with the men in their improvements.
To remove this objection, and that women might have at least a needful opportunity of education in all sorts of useful learning, I propose the draft of an academy for that purpose.
I know it is dangerous to make public appearances of the sex; they are not either to be confined or exposed: the first will disagree with their inclinations, and the last with their reputations; and therefore it is somewhat difficult; and I doubt a method proposed by an ingenious lady, in a little book called, "Advice to the Ladies," would be found impracticable. For, saving my respect to the sex, the levity which perhaps is a little peculiar to them (at least in their youth) will not bear the restraint; and I am satisfied nothing but the height of bigotry can keep up a nunnery. Women are extravagantly desirous of going to heaven, and will punish their pretty bodies to get thither; but nothing else will do it, and even in that case sometimes it falls out that nature will prevail.
When I talk therefore of an academy for women I mean both the model, the teaching, and the government different from what is proposed by that ingenious lady, for whose proposal I have a very great esteem, and also a great opinion of her wit; different, too, from all sorts of religious confinement, and, above all, from vows of celibacy.
Wherefore the academy I propose should differ but little from public schools, wherein such ladies as were willing to study should have all the advantages of learning suitable to their genius.
But since some severities of discipline more than ordinary would be absolutely necessary to preserve the reputation of the house, that persons of quality and fortune might not be afraid to venture their children thither, I shall venture to make a small scheme by way of essay.
The house I would have built in a form by itself, as well as in a place by itself.
The building should be of three plain fronts, without any jettings or bearing-work, that the eye might at a glance see from one coin to the other; the gardens walled in the same triangular figure, with a large moat, and but one entrance.
When thus every part of the situation was contrived as well as might be for discovery, and to render intriguing dangerous, I would have no guards, no eyes, no spies set over the ladies, but shall expect them to be tried by the principles of honour and strict virtue.
And if I am asked why, I must ask pardon of my own sex for giving this reason for it:
I am so much in charity with women, and so well acquainted with men, that it is my opinion there needs no other care to prevent intriguing than to keep the men effectually away. For though inclination, which we prettily call love, does sometimes move a little too visibly in the sex, and frailty often follows, yet I think verily custom, which we miscall modesty, has so far the ascendant over the sex that solicitation always goes before it.
"Custom with women, 'stead of virtue, rules; It leads the wisest, and commands the fools; For this alone, when inclinations reign, Though virtue's fled, will acts of vice restrain. Only by custom 'tis that virtue lives, And love requires to be asked before it gives. For that which we call modesty is pride: They scorn to ask, and hate to be denied. 'Tis custom thus prevails upon their want; They'll never beg what, asked, they easily grant. And when the needless ceremony's over, Themselves the weakness of the sex discover. If, then, desires are strong, and nature free, Keep from her men and opportunity. Else 'twill be vain to curb her by restraint; But keep the question off, you keep the saint."
In short, let a woman have never such a coming principle, she will let you ask before she complies—at least, if she be a woman of any honour.
Upon this ground I am persuaded such measures might be taken that the ladies might have all the freedom in the world within their own walls, and yet no intriguing, no indecencies, nor scandalous affairs happen; and in order to this, the following customs and laws should be observed in the colleges, of which I would propose one at least in every county in England, and about ten for the city of London.
After the regulation of the form of the building as before;
In this house the persons who enter should be taught all sorts of breeding suitable to both their genius and their quality, and, in particular, music and dancing, which it would be cruelty to bar the sex of, because they are their darlings; but, besides this, they should be taught languages, as particularly French and Italian; and I would venture the injury of giving a woman more tongues than one.
They should, as a particular study, be taught all the graces of speech, and all the necessary air of conversation, which our common education is so defective in that I need not expose it. They should be brought to read books, and especially history, and so to read as to make them understand the world, and be able to know and judge of things when they hear of them.
To such whose genius would lead them to it I would deny no sort of learning: but the chief thing in general is to cultivate the understandings of the sex, that they may be capable of all sorts of conversation; that, their parts and judgments being improved, they may be as profitable in their conversation as they are pleasant.
Women, in my observation, have little or no difference in them but as they are, or are not, distinguished by education. Tempers indeed may in some degree influence them, but the main distinguishing part is their breeding.
The whole sex are generally quick and sharp; I believe I may be allowed to say generally so; for you rarely see them lumpish and heavy when they are children, as boys will often be. If a woman be well bred, and taught the proper management of her natural wit, she proves generally very sensible and retentive; and, without partiality, a woman of sense and manners is the finest and most delicate part of God's creation, the glory of her Maker, and the great instance of His singular regard to man (His darling creature), to whom He gave the best gift either God could bestow or man receive; and it is the most sordid piece of folly and ingratitude in the world to withhold from the sex the due lustre which the advantages of education gives to the natural beauty of their minds.
A woman well bred and well taught, furnished with the additional accomplishments of knowledge and behaviour, is a creature without comparison; her society is the emblem of sublimer enjoyments; her person is angelic, and her conversation heavenly; she is all softness and sweetness, peace, love, wit, and delight; she is every way suitable to the sublimest wish, and the man that has such a one to his portion has nothing to do but to rejoice in her, and be thankful.
On the other hand, suppose her to be the very same woman, and rob her of the benefit of education, and it follows thus:
Methinks mankind for their own sakes (since, say what we will of the women, we all think fit one time or other to be concerned with them) should take some care to breed them up to be suitable and serviceable, if they expected no such thing as delight from them. Bless us! what care do we take to breed up a good horse, and to break him well! And what a value do we put upon him when it is done!—and all because he should be fit for our use. And why not a woman?—since all her ornaments and beauty, without suitable behaviour, is a cheat in nature, like the false tradesman who puts the best of his goods uppermost, that the buyer may think the rest are of the same goodness.
Beauty of the body, which is the women's glory, seems to be now unequally bestowed, and nature (or, rather, Providence) to lie under some scandal about it, as if it was given a woman for a snare to men, and so make a kind of a she-devil of her: because, they say, exquisite beauty is rarely given with wit, more rarely with goodness of temper, and never at all with modesty. And some, pretending to justify the equity of such a distribution, will tell us it is the effect of the justice of Providence in dividing particular excellences among all His creatures, "Share and share alike, as it were," that all might for something or other be acceptable to one another, else some would be despised.
I think both these notions false; and yet the last, which has the show of respect to Providence, is the worst; for it supposes Providence to be indigent and empty, as if it had not wherewith to furnish all the creatures it had made, but was fain to be parsimonious in its gifts, and distribute them by piece-meal, for fear of being exhausted.
If I might venture my opinion against an almost universal notion, I would say most men mistake the proceedings of Providence in this case, and all the world at this day are mistaken in their practice about it. And, because the assertion is very bold, I desire to explain myself.
That Almighty First Cause which made us all is certainly the fountain of excellence, as it is of being, and by an invisible influence could have diffused equal qualities and perfections to all the creatures it has made, as the sun does its light, without the least ebb or diminution to Himself; and has given indeed to every individual sufficient to the figure His providence had designed him in the world.
I believe it might be defended if I should say that I do suppose God has given to all mankind equal gifts and capacities, in that He has given them all souls equally capable; and that the whole difference in mankind proceeds either from accidental difference in the make of their bodies, or from the foolish difference of education.
1. From Accidental Difference in Bodies
I would avoid discoursing here of the philosophical position of the soul in the body: but if it be true, as philosophers do affirm, that the understanding and memory is dilated or contracted according to the accidental dimensions of the organ through which it is conveyed, then, though God has given a soul as capable to me as another, yet if I have any natural defect in those parts of the body by which the soul should act, I may have the same soul infused as another man, and yet he be a wise man and I a very fool. For example, if a child naturally have a defect in the organ of hearing, so that he could never distinguish any sound, that child shall never be able to speak or read, though it have a soul capable of all the accomplishments in the world. The brain is the centre of the soul's actings, where all the distinguishing faculties of it reside; and it is observable, a man who has a narrow contracted head, in which there is not room for the due and necessary operations of nature by the brain, is never a man of very great judgment; and that proverb, "A great head and little wit," is not meant by nature, but is a reproof upon sloth; as if one should, by way of wonder say, "Fie, fie, you that have a great head have but little wit; that's strange! that must certainly be your own fault." From this notion I do believe there is a great matter in the breed of men and women; not that wise men shall always get wise children: but I believe strong and healthy bodies have the wisest children; and sickly, weakly bodies affect the wits as well as the bodies of their children. We are easily persuaded to believe this in the breeds of horses, cocks, dogs, and other creatures; and I believe it is as visible in men.
But to come closer to the business; the great distinguishing difference which is seen in the world between men and women is in their education; and this is manifested by comparing it with the difference between one man or woman and another.
And herein it is that I take upon me to make such a bold assertion, that all the world are mistaken in their practice about women: for I cannot think that God Almighty ever made them so delicate, so glorious creatures, and furnished them with such charms, so agreeable and so delightful to mankind, with souls capable of the same accomplishments with men, and all to be only stewards of our houses, cooks, and slaves.
Not that I am for exalting the female government in the least: but, in short, I would have men take women for companions, and educate them to be fit for it. A woman of sense and breeding will scorn as much to encroach upon the prerogative of the man as a man of sense will scorn to oppress the weakness of the woman. But if the women's souls were refined and improved by teaching, that word would be lost; to say, "the weakness of the sex," as to judgment, would be nonsense; for ignorance and folly would be no more to be found among women than men. I remember a passage which I heard from a very fine woman; she had wit and capacity enough, an extraordinary shape and face, and a great fortune, but had been cloistered up all her time, and, for fear of being stolen, had not had the liberty of being taught the common necessary knowledge of women's affairs; and when she came to converse in the world her natural wit made her so sensible of the want of education that she gave this short reflection on herself:
"I am ashamed to talk with my very maids," says she, "for I don't know when they do right or wrong: I had more need go to school than be married."
I need not enlarge on the loss the defect of education is to the sex, nor argue the benefit of the contrary practice; it is a thing will be more easily granted than remedied: this chapter is but an essay at the thing, and I refer the practice to those happy days, if ever they shall be, when men shall be wise enough to mend it.

It's that time of year again — to give thanks for all that we have.
Thanksgiving is a truly American holiday, one that is deeply rooted in tradition. The first Thanksgiving goes all the way back to 1621 when the Pilgrims sat down with the Wampanoag to celebrate the harvest at Plymouth Colony, according to Smithsonian.com.
More than 150 years later, the Continental Congress issued the first national Thanksgiving Proclamation in 1777. But it wasn't until 1789 that President George Washington issued the first Presidential Thanksgiving Proclamation.
U.S. & World
"I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States," Washington said.
Since then, food and family have become synonymous with the holiday. Many of us will spend time prepping the turkey and pumpkin pie and decorating the table for family and friends before settling down to the feast.
But if you think eating a turkey on Thanksgiving is overrated, why not change your holiday routine and break free from tradition?
Go meatless! Sure, turkey is the go-to fare for Thanksgiving, but going meatless does have some benefit. Not only can you cater to the vegetarian guest, it will also eliminate the post-meal food coma.
There are many different options out there, from vegetarian sides to main dishes like the mushroom and kale-stuffed squash. And, of course, you can still get the feeling of a turkey without the actual bird — products like soy-based Tofurky are a popular alternative to the real thing.
"We're so proud to see that alternative holiday meal traditions, which were once a niche phenomenon, have become legitimately mainstream in the 20-plus years we've been making Tofurky Roasts," said Jaime Athos, CEO and president of Tofurky.
Whatever you decide to eat, why not ask your guests to wear an ugly Thanksgiving sweater? Since they're not just for Christmas anymore, you can wear these delightfully tacky, non-traditional sweaters while you and your loved ones give thanks.
Staying active is a great way to help burn off the Turkey Day calories, to help alleviate the boredom and promote togetherness.
The President's Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition recommends 30 minutes of activity a day for adults and 60 minutes a day for children. Why not kick around the ball, try paintball or go bowling, too?
Having Thanksgiving at a restaurant is also a non-traditional holiday option — especially if you can't fathom the idea of spending all that time cooking.
More than 33 million Americans will visit restaurants during Thanksgiving this year, according to the National Restaurant Association. There are a number of national chains including Bob Evans, Sizzler, Morton's and Cracker Barrel that will be offering holiday specials.
You might also consider giving back to the community while giving thanks. There are hundreds of organizations across the country that are looking for volunteers to serve Thanksgiving dinner to those in need.
"We hope all Americans will consider making volunteer service a part of their holiday tradition and invite their friends and families to join them," said a spokeswoman for the Corporation for National and Community Service.
More than 25 percent of American adults volunteered 7.7 billion hours of time — including holiday time — in 2013, according to the organization.
Trying something new may just open you up to new holiday traditions.

Summary and Keywords
Agricultural extension has evolved over the last 200 years from a system of top-down dissemination of information from experts to farmers to a more complex system, in which a diversity of knowledge producers and farmers work together to co-produce information. Following a detailed history of the evolution of extension in the United States, this article describes an example from the southeastern United States that illustrates how innovative institutional arrangements enable land-grant universities to actively engage farmers and extension agents as key partners in the knowledge generation process. A second U.S. example shows that private retailers are more influential than extension in influencing large-scale farmers' farm management decisions in the midwestern United States. However, these private retailers trust extension as a source of climate change information and thus partnerships are important for extension. Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) have been an important source of extension services for smallholder farmers across the world, and examples from the NGO CARE indicate that a participatory and facilitative approach works well for climate change communication. Collectively, these examples emphasize that the role of agricultural extension in climate change communication is essential in the context of both developed and developing countries and with both smallholder farmers and large-scale farmers. These case studies illustrate the effectiveness of a co-production approach, the importance of partners and donors, and the changing landscape of agricultural extension delivery.

WASHINGTON, July 1, 2011--The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) today made available online its responses to two separate inquiries regarding the regulation of genetically-engineered (GE) Kentucky bluegrass. In the first response, directed at Scotts Miracle-Gro Company, APHIS confirmed that the Scotts GE Kentucky bluegrass variety does not fall under APHIS biotechnology authority for regulation. In the second response, directed at the International Center for Technology Assessment (ICTA) and the Center for Food Safety (CFS), APHIS determined it would not regulate Kentucky bluegrass-neither Scotts GE Kentucky bluegrass nor traditional Kentucky bluegrass-as a Federal noxious weed under its authority.
In a September 2010 letter to USDA, Scotts Miracle-Gro Company sought confirmation that its Kentucky bluegrass variety, which is genetically-engineered to be resistant to the herbicide glyphosate, is not regulated under APHIS' plant pest authority in the Plant Protection Act or biotechnology regulations. APHIS has confirmed that organisms used in generating Scotts' variety of GE Kentucky bluegrass are not considered to be plant pests, and Scotts did not use a plant pest to genetically engineer the Kentucky bluegrass. Moreover, the glyphosate tolerance is caused by a single gene insertion, which does not create a new species of Kentucky bluegrass. In addition, APHIS has no reason to believe that the GE Kentucky bluegrass itself is a plant pest. Accordingly, the Scotts GE bluegrass variety is not a regulated article under APHIS' biotechnology regulations, found at 7 CFR part 340. USDA strongly encourages Scotts, early in the research stages of GE Kentucky bluegrass, to work with industry partners and stakeholders and to develop appropriate and effective stewardship measures.
In a 2002 petition from the ICTA and CFS, the organizations asked if APHIS would regulate GE Kentucky bluegrass under its Federal "noxious weed" authority in the Plant Protection Act. In response to the petition, APHIS conducted a risk assessment to determine the level of weed risk posed by Kentucky bluegrass, and subsequently evaluated whether the impacts posed by the plant would warrant it being regulated as a Federal noxious weed. As a result of its assessment, APHIS determined it would not regulate Kentucky bluegrass, GE or traditional, as a Federal noxious weed.
APHIS has published the materials related to Scotts' GE Kentucky bluegrass in the Federal Register at www.regulations.gov/#!searchResults;rpp=10;po=0;s=APHIS+Kentucky+Bluegrass .

Fees for Pupil Transportation FY 2015-16
Official Letter
Official Letter
Dear County Superintendents of Schools:
The governing board of any school district that provides transportation of pupils to and from school, in accordance with California Education Code (EC) Section 39807.5, may require parents and guardians to pay a portion of the transportation costs with two exceptions as discussed below. Fee amounts are determined by the governing board and shall be no greater than the statewide average non-subsidized cost of providing this transportation to a pupil on a publicly owned or operated transit system. For the purpose of this section, non-subsidized cost means actual operating costs less federal subsidies.
Maximum Rates
The State Superintendent of Public Instruction, in cooperation with the Department of Transportation, is required to determine the maximum amount of fees that parents or guardians may be charged for pupil transportation (EC Section 39807.5). The maximum rates apply to pupil transportation for regular day students, and students in regular full-time occupational training classes as provided by a regional occupational center or program.
The maximum allowable rates below are expressed on a "cost per passenger trip" basis. The daily round trip pupil transportation cost is twice the cost per passenger trip rate.
Cost per passenger trip: $4.91
Daily round trip cost: $9.82
Limit on Total Fees Collected
The sum of state aid received and the parent fees collected in a fiscal year shall not exceed the actual operating costs of pupil transportation in the same fiscal year (EC Section 39809.5). In computing whether excess fees were collected by a school district in a fiscal year, any fee revenue plus state transportation apportionments received by the district should be subtracted from the approved transportation costs. If the result is a negative number, then excess fees were collected and the school district must reduce its fees in succeeding years. In addition, the school district should also certify to the county superintendent that the school district levied fees in accordance with law, and where appropriate, fees have been reduced and excess fees eliminated (EC Section 39809.5).
Exclusions and Limitations
State law requires district governing boards to exempt certain pupils from any transportation fee, specifically:
- Individuals with exceptional needs whose individualized education program requires the local educational agency to provide transportation services (EC Section 39807.5[e]).
- Pupils whose parents or guardians are indigent as set forth in rules and regulations adopted by the governing board (EC Section 39807.5[d]).
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter, please contact Julie Klein Briggs, Fiscal Consultant, Office of Categorical Allocations and Management Assistance, by phone at 916-323-6191 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
